If you are either seeking work or looking for a new position, you need to get the most out of LinkedIn to find the job you are after. This book will help you to "interwork" to get you "in to work" as quickly and stress free as possible.

I was disappointed with the content of some of the other books available, which were out-dated, country specific, full of jargon, poorly presented and in some cases a bit boring too. As well as the LinkedIn specifics, I've included in this book other hints and tips that will help your job search, from refreshing your CV or Resume to setting up a personal website. You only get one opportunity to make a first impression so make the most of it.

Many people who join LinkedIn just copy and paste their CV or Resume onto a LinkedIn profile in a few minutes and then leave it untouched. Follow the advice in this book to get promoted, connected and into a new job, supported by the author's own LinkedIn group. All this for less than the price of a glossy magazine or a frothy coffee.

One reader's recommendation:

"This book is very logical, written in "easy-speak" not "computer-geek" and covers everything you need to know about selling yourself to a prospective employer. It shows you, with screen prints, how to do every task and explains the ins and outs of the LinkedIn website. Best of all, it explains how to make the most of yourself, and get that new job!!"

How to improve your personal branding:- Make a positive first impression- Create and maintain a clean internet presence- Customise your LinkedIn address to linkedin.com/yourname

How to create a rock solid CV or Resume:- Improve the clarity and presentation- Age proof your CV as "40 is the new 50"- Avoid common errors

I am an experienced senior manager having worked in both private business and government sectors, with extensive experience of managing change. This has led me to do a lot of recruiting over the years and when it comes to CVs and job applications I've seen the good, bad and downright ugly.

If you follow the advice in my Linkedinterwork book, your next application will definitely be in the good category, hopefully up against a bunch of bad and uglies.

I live in Bedfordshire in the UK (40 miles / 75km north of London if your geography's on par with mine), am a member of Mensa; a Chartered Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport and a Member of the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply.

I'm also a Member of the Institute of Customer Service and have appeared in their Journal more than once as a "Customer Service Pioneer."

I hope you enjoy the book as much as I've enjoyed writing it. You are welcome to join my LinkedIn group LinkedInterwork where you'll find useful job-hunting information and articles as well as some friendly folk to swap ideas with.

I bought this book having decided I needed a better job.
I followed each clearly written suggestion by the author, from a new CV through to expanding my profile on LinkedIn. In fairness, it took a few hours to complete and then a series of subsequent "enhancements" as I thought of better ways of expressing myself, but I was pleased with the end product. Other people obviously liked it too, as I have had three contacts from Recruitment Agencies and two actual interviews!! THANK YOU CHRIS JONES!! You know your stuff.
